    Hey there, thanks for the message. I see your zilla is more recent than mine; yours looks more like a vape than my dry hit. We'll soon have the forum fleeing in panic! You seem to be without friends too so I'll send a request to start my list. Later, jimzilla

    Clash Of The Titans: Zmax or ProVari?

    Don't know if this shifts the equation but the Zmax v2 dropped to $90 on MadVapes (no affiliation) plus another 10% off automatically added at checkout currently. This v2 version also adds VV RMS to the menu for those who don't set to VW. This deal clinched it for me and one is on the way (I...

    Vaping and Beer

    All eliquids go great with beer as there is less chance of burning the house down. Seriously though, I go with tobacco flavors when imbibing as less craving for an analog.

    Confused on which minivivinova to get

    The STV sleeve makes it a bit more discrete if you are driving, though. :D

    smok zmax Good buy or spend the extra on a provari

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that Zmax v2 has a new VV RMS option added so accuracy of setting should be improved; can't wait to see independent test results to see if it is effective in practice.

    smok zmax Good buy or spend the extra on a provari

    FYI - the Zmax v2 is now available from MadVapes (no affiliation) for $90 plus automatic 10% off in checkout currently. I don't think this deal can be beat so I have one one the way. You should be HAPPY with either, so make a choice and ENJOY!

    What's different- eGo-C vs. eGo-T2?

    Not sure about the passthrough versions but the Ego-T upgrade but I believe that the Ego-T upgrade doesn't have the color change low battery warning of the Ego-C upgrade (at least mine doesn't). Don't know if this helps (or if mine doesn't work correctly).

    Confused again

    I'm diabetic too and eliquids should not have an effect on blood sugar (I see no change with any PG/VG ratio). Some other factor maybe a play here so is your routine different when you are vaping? My endocrinologist at Cleveland Clinic (like Mayo) summed it up well; his quote "Electronic...

    I'm in Vivi Heaven

    Vivis do need frequent maintenance and cleaning to keep the flavors strong but they are among the best clearos today. The latest Kanger T3s (with white graduations going both directions) work well too but I had over-feeding problems with the first version. Good luck!

    Mini nova?

    Both the vivi novas and the Kanger T3 bottom feeders work well but not without some issues. Vivis need more maintenance to keep performance up and some T3s over-feed and get gurgly or blow juice into the mouth. The technology keeps evolving and getting better, but these are good work horses.

    Lost in Vapeland....

    Vaping is more of a journey as there are no one-stop shops. Though you are forced to seek and find multiple suppliers, it is great that this is truly an entrepreneurial business hosted by real, friendly people rather than faceless mega-corporations out to mislead (or kill) their customers. It...

    Craving traditional cigs while drinking... HELP!

    It is truly hard to just walk away from analogs but stick with it. Once you find some really tasty juice it gets a lot easier and cigs taste start tasting bad. If your mind is set, your journey will be successful. Good luck!

    Who has the best selection of the new Kanger T3s?

    Yes, IVapes have them in multiple colors and now the graduation markings printed in both directions so you can read them (not upside down) when filling. Also these seem to work better with less over-feeding (less gurgling or juice blow through into the mouth). Am happier with the T3s now!

    Batteries plus

    Always nice to add to the battery knowledge base here. I designed secondary batteries for years, including LiIon 18650s. Welcome!

    Do you have a Brick and Mortar Store Devoted to E-Cigs and Vaping in your area?

    In Miami, I patronize Vapor Shark (no affiliation). I've heard there are stores in the No. Broward/Boca area but the VS crew are friendly and the opportunity to taste all juices makes it worth the drive. They also set up a lounge with couches, Foosball, drinks, etc. Head on over to Bird Road...

    Provari or vmax?

    Yes, the ProVari is the highest quality and you will pay for that. And if the price isn't an issue for you, you will be VERY happy. But as an option, consider the Zmax instead of the Vmax (both from SmokTech). The Zmax is variable wattage and the price has just dropped to $90 at MadVapes...

    About ohms

    The charts and calculations are great to get you into the ballpark but your taste will tell you when you hit the sweet spot, which will vary considerably with different juices. Best recommendation is to invest in a Variable Voltage device (battery or mod) or a Variable Wattage mod and tweak the...

    New to vaping-Any flavours to recommend?

    Finding a great vanilla seems almost as hard as a good tobacco flavor. Can't say I've found either that is truly satisfying. There are plenty of opinions available on these forums but the only one that counts is yours. However, the members can steer you to some of the most talented blenders...
